Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ryan Laplante raised to 2,000 in early position which saw a player in the hijack call and Cole Ferraro in the big blind call as well.

The flop of A♠A♥5♠ saw action check around to the 2♣ turn where Ferraro bet 2,500 which only Laplante called.

On the river 10♠, Ferraro checked over to Laplante who bet 7,200 and Ferraro sighed flashing 4♥ as he tossed his hand into the muck. Laplante showed A♦2♦ for aces full as he took in the pot from a fellow bracelet winner.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nicholas Riali just scooped in a big pot after winning a flip, he briefly recapped the hands to PokerNews.

Riali opened to 2,200 and picked up a caller before another player made it 11,000, leaving around 24,000 behind. Riali jammed as the big stack which folded out one opponent, but the three-bettor called for their tournament life.

Opponent: QxQx
Nicholas Riali: A♦K♦

The 8♥7♦6♦ flop gave Riali a flush draw, which came in on the 3♦ turn. The 7x completed the board and Riali took in the pot.
